Medicare Beneficiaries

I Have Medicare

Cedars-Sinai has served the needs of Medicare beneficiaries since the program began in 1966. Cedars-Sinai is included in both traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans. Coverage also is available for people who have both Medicare and Medi-Cal (dual eligible).

Traditional Medicare (Part A and/or Part B)

If you have traditional or original Medicare (Part A and/or B), including Medicare supplement insurance (Medigap) plans, you will have coverage for care from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and many of our doctors.

Medicare Advantage (Part C)

Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage or a Medicare Health plan, is purchased from a private insurance company and typically organized like an HMO or PPO insurance plan.

Cedars-Sinai participates in the following Medicare Advantage plans:

Blue Shield 65 Plus HMO

CareMore HMO and HMO Special Needs Plans

UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage HMO

AARP MedicareComplete SecureHorizons Plan 1, 2 and 3 (HMO)

Note: Cedars-Sinai Medical Group and Cedars-Sinai Health Associates providers are not included in the provider-specific network for Plan 2.

AARP MedicareComplete SecureHorizons Essential (HMO)

With these plans, you must choose a primary care doctor in either the Cedars-Sinai Medical Group or Cedars-Sinai Health Associates, and will be referred to specialists within these groups.

Dual Eligible (Medicare and Medi-Cal)

If you are eligible for both Medicare and Medi-Cal, you should do one of two things to ensure coverage for Cedars-Sinai:

Opt out of Cal MediConnect and keep the same fee-for-service Medicare benefit that you already have, or

Enroll in the Cal MediConnect program through one of the following:

L.A. Care Health Cal MediConnect Plan

CareMore Cal MediConnect (MMP)
